' IMPROVEMENT m THlLL-COUPLINGS.'

Specification f orming part'of Letters Patent No. 174,413, dated March 7, 1876 application filed A Jannary 26,1876. 1

To allwhom itmay concerns l Be it known that LYWALTER H. CORNELL, ot" Skaneateles, Qnondaga county, ,Stateof New York, have inyentjed a new and Improved p l ill-(Joupling ofiwhich the following is a Wspecification: 1 1* '1 1 l r This invention isfom the purpose of securingand tighteningthejointand pin coupling the lfill,-&c.,fto the carriage, toprevent all j noise and jarring as the joint wears. Z

The construction is as -follows referrin to i i 7v f'ihe accompanying drawing, infwhich- Figure. 1 is aside elevation. Fig. 2'is a sectional'elevation parallel to Fig. 1; Fig. 3. the,

p I parts detached.

The same references are used in all the figures. f p J a is thattpart of the joint affixed to, orconnected with, the frontaxle of a carriage. 'It

isaflat plate, a, with .two lugs, 01/, projecting upfrom it parallel with eachfother ath'the front end, and between these a piece of india- I rubber is placed=i1po rthe' plate under the jnin tL Theylugsahave holes'horizontallythrough them, throughjwhich-the joint-pine passes. Thisjoint-pin 0 (shown detached in Fig. 3) has-ahead 10 oneend, and may have a screw andnut-on'the other; butiIdo not deem it necessary, and consequently have not plate a, with a screw-nut on it, by whichthe eye is drawn down into the joint-pin c. The

shank .of that part of the joint attached to y a the shaft or pole has an eye, e,-on it that just fits between the lugs a, and through this eye the pin 0 passes. under side of the eye at the center of its breadth, through which the belt at passes. The eye 0 of the joint is drawn down onto the rubber b by the bolt d sufficiently tight to hold all the parts from jarring and making a to hold the pin a in place.

Having thus fully described my improved noise, while at the same time it can be made coupling, what I claim as new is-- i The combination of the joint-pine; bolt 01,

and slotted eye 6, substantially as and for the purposesherein set forth. Y
